love lifts up to where we belong...in your arms.

so.....

you know that whole bit about me never having gotten terribly sick after drinking?

well, that streak is over.

ach, great, amazing, wonderful night

but oy that was a lot of fruit chunks. (ew)

i'm just looking at that experience as a blessing in disguise. i never ever would have thought to have gotten this close to people in such a short period of time. honestly...my friends are stunning, amazing, beautiful people. i'm incredibly blessed to have them.

as you can tell, i've gained some new experiences, ideas, and friends while i've been here in italy. it has already changed me quite a lot. and yes, i do recognize it is not the country that changed me, but the people i am around and enjoying my time with here-and it also has to do with how much i want to change, how much i am willing to learn and grow. so-there are a lot of aspects to this new-fangled person i am.

but really, how great it feels to be able to say-

i will know them for life. they love me. i love them.

and THAT is the greatest greeting a new world could ever give.

so thanks to God for them.

oh....and thanks to God they took such amazing care of me last night (at the end) though....i have to admit, i carried myself pretty well despite the aweful-grossness of the situation. and i called each of them this morning to thank them, and tell them to expect something nice from me in the near future (i.e. a lil' present for being so amazing.)

and....

goodness life is good.

and yay for feeling better this morning!!! yay!

and yay for friends....a big hoorah.

xoxo
